Mark's Messy Room

(4) K-3 Translated by Charise Myngheer. Illustrated by Alexandra Junge. Tired of his young owner's messy, smelly room, Carlos the cat sets out to find a better home. He ends up in a tidy apartment with a luxurious bed, warm milk, and expensive treats. But the good life gets old, and Carlos starts to miss his former owner. The textured, painterly illustrations add humor to this somewhat preachy story.
